Buyer Activity and Seller Demand in Longmont, CO

With median sales prices at $600,000 for single family homes and $505,000 for attached dwellings, engagement continues from buyers across multiple price tiers.

Multiple offers shape the story this month as homes below $700,000 regularly attract more than one bid. Absorption at 83 percent and an average 28 days on market indicate listings do not last long when priced appropriately and presented well.
